“Alice Richardson is part of a new and exciting midfield combination that I think will bring a lot of dynamics to our game, just like they have done for the England Sevens squad.”

England wrapped up the series beating the Black Ferns 17-8 on Tuesday night, a match, which featured Richmond’s Alex Matthews, following on from last weekend’s 16-13 win in the opening Test.

Richmond club-mates Emma Croker and Fran Matthews – sister to Alex – are on the replacements bench for the final match, which is due to kick off at 5pm – following England's QBE international against the All Blacks.
